Do smells bother anyone after surgery?



Recommended Posts

oh yes, even none food things stink to me. I thought I was the only one! I feel like the whole house stinks and it doesn't.

Okay this is really strange, about 2 days ago, I started smelling this funk. It followed me every where. I thought it was me and took like 3 showers in one day. Thought it was my shirt, and changed that..so on and so on...Went to grocery store, smelled it, got in the car smelled, got home smelled it every where all over the house. Was really getting a bit worried about it, and just like that it stopped. It wasn't me, I scrubbed up and down, but for 2 solid days I smelled this really nasty funky smell. I didn't connect it to the surgery though...but now...hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

The smell of cooking oil, vanilla, and really fatty meat such as bacon all make me a little queasy. Also my sense of smell has heightened for sure! Don't really particularly care for sweet smelling things either.

I can smell the litter box from the other end of the house after the cat does her business and before could stand next to it and never smell it. If I get near a smoker it about kills me and I used to smoke.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
